1 Sweet exclude mee not, nor be divided
From him that ere long must bed thee :
All thy maiden doubts Law hath decided ;
Sure wee are, and I must wed thee.
Presume then yet a little more,
Here's the way, barre not the dore.
2 Tenants to fulfill their Land-lords pleasure
Pay their rent before the quarter :
'Tis my case, if you it rightly measure,
Put mee not then off with laughter.
Consider then a little more,
Here's the way to all my store.
3 Why were dores in loues despight deuised ?
Are not Lawes enough restrayning ?
Women are most apt to be surprised
Sleeping, or sleepe wisely fayning.
Then grace me yet a little more,
Here's the way, barre not the dore.
